CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource error

Question

I'm getting a CORS error when making a GET request to Google Places API. I kinda know what CORS is but I don't understand how am I supposed to avoid getting this error. Shouldn't the API's back end be the one who deals with this problem?

The code which causes the error:

axios.get('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json?input=%2B61293744000&inputtype=phonenumber&fields=place_id&key=')
    .then(response => {
        console.log(response)
    }).catch((error) => console.log(error));
